Doctors can successfully help a teen stop smoking?

If a doctor can convince a teen to quit smoking by simply talk to the teen about smoking. CNN is the source of this topic. You can watch a clip on doctors talking ot teens and convincing em to quit smoking by CLICKING HERE.

All doctors are different. Some doctors are hardcore antismokers. I even remember a doc I saw around 10 years ago who said to me: "If you can afford to buy a pack of cigs, then you can afford your own prescriptions."

Well, even based on a modern price for a pack, I bet most people would LOVE the idea of paying only 10 bucks per prescription! Medicine is a LOT more expensive than even a $12 cig pack in NYC.

But that doctor who I talked to shouldn't have assumed I buy my cigs in or around Chicago. I notice a lotta folks assume that if I have a pack of cigs, then I must be filthy rich. But that's not true in my case.

If a doctor can convince a teen to quit smoking by simply talking to the teen, then I hope that same doctor can convince teens to don't fall in love with eating fast food daily.
